1981 Division III men's basketball tournament

After falling in the
national championship game in 1979 and the quarterfinals in 1980,
Potsdam State broke through in 1981, beating Augustana on its home
floor in overtime. Potsdam was fortunate to even make overtime, as
Leroy Witherspoon hit a 45-footer at the buzzer to force the extra
period. After trailing the entire first half, Augustana scored 10
unanswered points to take a 48-42 lead. The Vikings held the lead
until the 3:23 mark of the second half, when a Maurice Woods jumper
put the Bears up 55-54.
